Snaking just pokes a hole through the clog, leaving most of the buildup still coating your pipe walls. Within months, debris catches on that remaining buildup and you’re clogged again.
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to completely scour the entire pipe diameter clean. We’re talking 4,000 PSI of pressure that removes grease, scale, tree roots, and years of accumulated debris. The water jets spray in all directions, scrubbing every inch of pipe surface.
The difference is dramatic and long-lasting. Snaked drains typically clog again within 6-12 months. Properly hydro jetted pipes often stay clear for several years because there’s nothing left for new debris to stick to.
